So I bought a pair of Zipp service course SL bars probably a 2 years ago, in Traditional bend, and just this week bought a new pair, but in beyond black colour.

Exactly the same, Service Course SL, TB (traditional bend). However clearly, as you can see, there are some differences!! The new Beyond Black pair, are more what you'd expect from a traditional bend, but ultimately I wanted the same bar I bought a year or two ago. It's hard to read, but the measurements on both bars, as printed on them, are identical.

Was my old bar mislabeled? or have they simply updated the shape?

Looking around the web, most (granted the links are old) seem to be closer to the older shape i have?

quite possible that they were misprinted. On my easton TKO and equipe bars, 4 of the 5 bars i've owned had the the bend clearly misprinted. i have ergo bends overlays on the classic bend of the eastons. this made absolutely no difference to me, but it's possible that they were just misprinted and your 2 year old bend isn't right.

Sorry to revive this thread again but I've just got the same problem. Did anyone find what was going on here?

I ordered the traditional bend but I've received a bar which can only really be described as 'ergo'. It's very similar to my old Short/Shallow bars. I've contacted the place where I bought them from, we'll see what they say. Seems very odd that the diagram which is printed on the bars clearly shows the proper shape of the traditional bend bars - but it doesn't match the shape of the bars I've got, despite the bars being labelled up as traditional bend.
